Rezensionen

Overall this book covers a good deal of ground, summarising the authors work, in both the academic field as well as in practice and in understanding the relationship between firms and governments. It also for example highlights the unequal nature of the bargaining arrangements between firms and tax authorities, and the need, for reasons discussed above to end secrecy, not only at the level of the firm, but from banks, and also (typically big 4) auditors and the advice they give on tax avoidance.
Overall therefore, Cobham provides an excellent, thought provoking overview of these issues, with many examples that even the casual reader would find interesting. Professor Nigel Driffield 20240123
